After mine broke, some one here recommended inspecting these at oil chage intervals (while you've already got the car jacked up). In addition to the reinforcing kits/parts I referenced above, RogerD sent me these pics of his DIY reinforcing:

With all of the damn speed bumps/humps being installed in residential neighborhoods, folks really need to inspect frequently and consider reinforcing these. I don't speed in residential neighborhoods, but it is probably not a coincidence that mine broke loose shortly after hitting a speed hump at 25-30 mph rather than the (10-15 mph); it was on a unfamiliar road in the middle of a blinding rain/thunderstorm and I didn't see it coming.
